Right, you can handle all this using the SCC's.  I  know  of  several
commercial  solutions  that  do  exactly that. Unfortunately, I don't
know of an Open Source project.

In our case we estimated  that  it  would  be  easier  (in  terms  of
development  effort)  to  interface  an  external  framer, and re-use
existing isdn4linux code as much as possible. Also,  using  a  PCMCIA
prototype  card,  it's  much  easier  to sort out some other problems
lioke endianess by running the same code  on  very  similar  hardware
both on the MPC8xx target and on a normal x86 laptop.

Just let me know if you have any free manpower to offer :-)

That's what we're doing.
